He Waited She Wilted (Ottilie and Yorath) novel Chapter 94

In an instant, the venue went dead silent.

Every head turned, searching the crowd for the elusive, highly controversial second female lead who lived permanently in the trending topics.

Given her wildly colorful and dramatic personal life, any random interview with her could easily generate a ten-thousand-word front-page scandal.

The reporters' cameras rapidly locked onto Ottilie.

With her head held high and a graceful smile for the lenses, she elegantly made her way toward the stage.

Nyssa was already waiting on the steps, extending a hand to help her up.

Ottilie placed her hand in Nyssa's, letting the other woman gently pull her upward.

"Ottilie!" A man's voice suddenly screamed from the crowd.

Ottilie spun around to see a man dressed as a crew member charging forward, holding a plastic water bottle.

Her immediate instinct was to run.

But Nyssa gripped her hand with terrifying strength.

Ottilie instinctively wrenched her face away.

Out of her peripheral vision, she saw the man hurl the liquid from the bottle directly at her.

The crowd shrieked in horror.

A split second later, something soft draped over her face.

Opening her eyes, Ottilie realized Nyssa had pulled up her own skirt, shielding them both beneath the fabric.

Total chaos erupted.

Security guards swarmed the man, violently pinning the acid-thrower to the floor.

Jevon Crawford and the others sprinted onto the stage, instantly forming a protective wall around Nyssa.

The crowd forced Ottilie and Nyssa back toward the edge of the stage.

"It hurts!" Nyssa cried out. "The acid got me!"

Jevon yanked Nyssa into his arms, roaring at the crowd, "Get the hell out of the way! She's hurt! We need to get her to a hospital now!"

The scene devolved into sheer pandemonium.

Reporters shoved forward trying to get the scoop.

Fans desperately tried to rush the stage to check on their idol.

Security furiously tried to hold the line.

Surrounded by a phalanx of guards, Nyssa was finally escorted out of the hall.
